es Re went sway On that dreadful lase
day; how ne took her picture with him,
and told ell he said. She states that she
was forced TO stop in the midst CT her
words, for Colonel Smith turned glasllY
pale and left the room. II all seemed
strange to ne then, she said, but the
meaning is plain now. Miss Myron
continued to live with Colonel Smiths
family for two years, at was haven
and home to me-" she said, az had so
lorg tClled ard worked on our plantation,
Isolated from society AID all advan-
tsgas, it was Ike fairy life had opened
to me Of ease and luxury, but my heart
was almost breaking, as | remembered
ell that | had lost in those sad sweet
days"
SIX weeks ago Colonel Smith was taken
suddenly III, AID when he realized that
death was iHevit6ble he expressed a de
sire 10 see Miss MyrOn alone. She states
that as she neared the bed OF the dying
msn, she saw him holding something con
vulsivtly in one hand, as be extended the
other to her and eXCiaimed "Rlett
MyrCu, forgive me before l die, without
! your pardon | cannot die, come close and
| listen to what | have to tell you. 1t was
l who made you an orphan, my hands are
! red with your fathers blood. Take this, :"
he said, handing me the package; "
found it on his dying breast. 1t is your
| face; your Lame and his nGme are upon it.
Teke it and forgive enc who has tried 10
eXpiate tie wrongs done you. On. caa yea
forgive a dying MAN." and the voice
became faint ard low. "Oh! sir, you
both We're soldiers; freely tcrgive," snd
| the moor pirl who cOul6 say no more fell
unconscious upon the floor. "Tasrs
God" be murmured, and eli was ever.
When Rhett Myron recovered, the man
who had killed her father, and who was
later the best friend she ever knew, was
dead. In his VIII he bequeathed to ker
the generous sum of $4,000. He also
left 3 letter giving al the particulars Of
her fathers death. Only few days egc
l saw the picture-a sweet child face, in
al szure cloud, and on the little plush
case were marks Of blood. This is Ger
tainly the most remarkable incident il

The Southern Girl Whoss Greatest Rene

Her
EDGEFIELD, S. c., Aug. 27.-The death
Of Colonel W. Il. Smith, which took place
in New York few weeks since, has
brought TO light very remarkable Incl
dent. Miss Rhett Myron, the principal
figure in the drama, is s personal friend
of yOur correspondent, and from her the
following facts have been obtained, with
permission for their publication.
Hayne Myron, the father Of this young
lady, was a planter in South
Carolina. His home WAS s typical
southern home, spacious and hospt-
able, surrounded by broad acres and
faithful slaves. HIS family consisted of
his wife and Rhett, who was then little
child, and the idol of her father, as well
as the pet OF the plantation. At the
breaking cut of the war, IN the fall of
1861, Hayne MYron joined a volunteer
South Carolina regiment.
Before leaving home he had a picture
Of his little girl painted in miniature and
lnCased it in lOcket that he placed next
to his heart, saying: "My darling, this
will be paps's shield when he is in dan
ger, and his sunshine when he rests
and with eyes filed with tears, he
smOthered the face and sunny head of his
child with farewell kisses and hur-
ried away from his peaceful home
out to the world CT danger
Six months later, in D skirmish in
Virginia, Hayne Myron was killed, in
close combat, By a federal officer. Only
8 few words were sent to the old home to
tell the sad story.
During General Sherman's invasion
into South Carolina the Myron homestead
was destroyed. The widow and daughter
continued to live on the plantation in ar
out-building, supported from the rents
from the lands. Two years ago Mrs
Myron died, and through the influence OF
friends. Miss Myron obtained position
as governess in the family of Colonel L
L. Smith of New York. She stated to me
that her first meeting with Colonel Smith
was peculiar. That when his wife in
troduced her to him saying, "This is
our new governess from South Caro-
lima, Miss Rhett Myron," his face be
came deathly white, and he gave sud
den start. he was absent from home
when Mrs. Smith engaged herr He me-
Chanically shook hands with her and tried
TO speak, but his lips seemed sealed. But
later his manner changed to kindness and
cordially, and she was treated more as
al honCred guest than salaried teacher.
He insisted on paying her four times the
amount she charged for her services, and
made her duties light. One evening she
was sitting in the family circle, telling
of her past life down in South Carolina,
Of the spacious house with its twenty
columns, of the dusky slaves, who used
TO Sit her on their shoulders, calling her
their little queen' as they carried
her through the cotton field that
looked like seas of snow foam.

the balance in the hands OF ~paymasters
June 80, 1887, to SI,339,014. The
amount disbursed during the year shows a
large increase over the previous, year,
which is due to the large amount paid on
treasury certificates in the settlement OF
claims OF soldiers for back pay and
bounty. An extension OF the system OF
monthly payments to the entire army is
recommended, as is legislation where pay
masters may not be subjected to peouniary
responsibility for d~isallowance OF accounts
by the treasury on disbursements made
by order Of the department.
